Today, @SECWAR reinstated Brigadier General Melissa Cunningham. She was forced to retire after declining the COVID-19 vaccine mandate. We will not stop righting the wrongs of the Biden administration.

I have officially appointed @Dakota_Meyer to serve as my Senior Advisor for the Barracks Task Force. Dakota will represent my office at installations across the country—going directly to our warfighters, identifying what’s broken, and ensuring we FIX our barracks. Our warriors deserve nothing less.

I am praying for the people of Panama as they recover from the earthquake yesterday. Thanks to the expanded security cooperation between the Department of War and President @JoseRaulMulino, we immediately shifted military assets to assist Panama with humanitarian relief. The United States will continue to stand with our friends and partners in the Western Hemisphere.
